After good rains in Spring, Summer was dry as usual, but with an unexpectedly cool January which was perfect for the vines to ripen and maintain healthy canopies. This cool period led to the grapes in most regions maintaining excellent natural acid levels and very deep rich colours. This long cool Autumn also meant that each parcel of fruit would be harvested at its optimum flavour development. February and March were quite dry and balmy with cool nights and warm days, perfect conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz flavour development.
